Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · A minor

Gan Ainm is an Irish polka in 2/4 time and A minor, with its specific composer and exact historical origin remaining unrecorded. Because the title translates from Irish as without name, musicians frequently include it in lively session sets alongside other traditional tunes. Played with a brisk and driving rhythm, the melody features straightforward phrasing that invites spontaneous ornamentation and variation by traditional instrumentalists.
